Lime Kiln club in their position on inter-
national questions, on motion of Sir Isaac
Wapoe the meeting then opened on the
thirty third degree, and proceeded to the elec-

deal OF wire pulling during the summer in re-
gard to these offices, and 1t was felt that the
election would prove an exciting contest. An
informal ballot for secretary brought out
thirteen candidates, five Of whom could
neither read nor write When this fact came
to be whispered about, Brother Gardner arose
and said;

the .rvat Sahara desert and the Mormon
question An informal ballot for treasurer
brought out twenty eight candidates, and the
feeling promised to be SO high that the presi-
dent again arose and said:
